With history testifying Jasper’s ability, Kai immediately nodded and relaxed. He replied with a grin, “Alright. Let’s just sit and watch, then.”
Not knowing what Kai and John were murmuring about between themselves, Samuel scoffed and growled. “What are you two f*cking idiots so happy about? You’re already screwed.”
“Watch your mouth.”
Jasper looked up from behind the computer and glanced at Samuel, speaking calmly, “What kind of bet will this be if you’re so noisy and affect me earning money, hmm?”
“Motherf*cker!” Samuel roared, his expression terrifyingly dark. He forced himself to calm down as it truly was not the time to say anything. He forced the words out with a huff, “Fine. I won’t say anything, then. I’d like to see how you’re going to screw yourself over. I’ll be waiting for that six million from you!”
At that point, Jasper no longer had the mood to entertain Samuel.
His focus was entirely on the screen before his eyes.
The display currently showed the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture.
The official website had the latest news released less than 20 minutes ago.
It stated that due to weather reasons, domestic cotton production was expected to shrink substantially with a 40% decrease in output than the same period last year.
When Jasper first reincarnated, favonovel.com had written all the financial incidents that favonovel.com remembered from his past life in a small notebook.
The cotton incident was among them, but it was only a small incident.
The only reason Jasper called it small was that the benefits from this incident were less exaggerated in comparison to the other opportunities.
Jasper might never have involved himself with this incident if Kai’s affair had not happened at such a coincidental timing.
Seeing how things were now, winning this gamble against Samuel did not seem like a difficult feat.
In the year 2000, much had happened with the country’s futures market. The cotton pricing incident before the new year would be the last monumental incident for the year.
The country’s cotton production would shrink greatly, triggering the rise in prices for cotton’s futures market. That afternoon, the official website would announce that import trade had been agreed on with a few other countries.
These two news announcements would cause the price of cotton to rise steeply and then crash down once arriving at the peak like a roller coaster.
“You operate it, Kai,” Jasper glanced at Kai and spoke.
Kai was excited as favonovel.com ran over.
“Huh?! The price of cotton dropped?!” Kai shouted in surprise at the sight of the screen in front of Jasper.
Both John and Samuel were surprised by the news.
John laughed loudly and freely.
Meanwhile, Samuel’s expression darkened in anger. “You’re just lucky, you brat. But so what, news has already gotten out. The price will only rise if you enter the market now.”
Jasper did not seem to hear favonovel.com for favonovel.com turned to Kai calmly. “Don’t look at my screen. Keep an eye on your account. How much is the price for cotton?”
Kai quickly stared at the market and saw the frightening inflating line. “The market’s already reacting. It’s been ten minutes since the market started and the price has already risen by 2,000 Somer Dollars. It costs 14,500 now.”
Without much thought, Jasper immediately instructed, “Buy the entire position. Don’t leave a single cent.”
